Postdoctoral Position In Partial Differential Equations - Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Houston seeks applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position starting in July of 2008 pending funding approval.

The department seeks applicants with excellent research potential in the area of partial differential equations. Applicants are required to have completed their Ph.D. by the time of their appointment, but no earlier than July 1, 2004. Postdoctoral Fellows normally teach one course per semester and are expected to participate in the research activities of the department. The postdoctoral appointment is renewable for a total of up to two years, assuming satisfactory performance in research and teaching.

Applications are welcome at any time, but the review process will begin on February 22, 2008. To ensure full consideration, applicants are urged to have a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement, sample publications or preprints, and three letters of recommendation (at least one of them should address teaching ability) in by this date.

Graduate Assistant - Department of Mathematics and Computer Science

The Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science will hire at least two GA’s who will explore the possibilities of using the virtual world Second Life to:

Build a virtual work environment used in teaching college level courses, including, but not limited to computational science and mathematics.
Create University infrastructures (both at the department and college level) and student support in second life. Students familiar with the programming concept of Second Life are particularly encouraged to apply. We are looking for students who can think outside the box, have a taste for graphics and work well with a team.

This work may bring you to participate to conferences, and will help you build your CV.

These positions will be available for at least one year, and will be hosted by both the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Computer Science.
